In recent years, Application Whitelisting has been one of the new breeds of
antimalware technology. However, malware has already developed techniques for
dealing with and impeding this new technology's adoption rate, from causing
unwanted behavior in the solution to directly altering the execution of the
security solution to avoid detection while making it appear as though it is
operating correctly. This talk will demonstrate how malware can accomplish
these negative outcomes by manipulating application certificates and using file
system filter drivers. This talk will also discuss how to factor these
vulnerabilities into your security decisions.
